paint shop pro 7 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mikep · 10-20-2002, 02:22 PM

I downloaded paint shop pro 7 from neonapster to see if I would like it and be interested in buying it. I cant figure it out to save my life though. How are you guys changing colors and doing cool stuff like that? I'm not going to buy the program unless I can figure out how to use it but it doesnt seem to be too self explanatory and I really dont have tons of free time to figure it out. Any tips from those who are good with it?

I've spent hours messing with it myself. Its hard as hell!! These guys are very good at it!!

personally, i had the older version of the it, it was really hard to work and it didnt have very options to work with....so i got photoshop from one of my friends....OH MAN....very cool, and many more options, if you can get your hands on it, go for it, much easier, many more effects, options etc. sorry couldnt be any help just had to give my 2 cents

PSP 7 is easy as hell once you get the hang of it. there should be a tool bar down the left side of the screen. it has all your options on it. changing colors drawing those kinds of things. what exactly are you wanting to do with it? Ive done everything from create images to making them different colors to basic editing. Ive even made water in pics move with it. made a fish tank bubble. made a spa look like it works. its all a matter of what your using and what you want to do with it. just asking what you can do with it leaves a wide selection of stuff to show you. if you could narrow it down some it would be easier to tell you how to do it.

I am using my photo editing software that came with the computer. It takes awhile to figure it out. Just keep messing with it, you will get it!

justin · 10-20-2002, 07:27 PM

Xzavior240 · 10-20-2002, 07:34 PM

XXL · 10-20-2002, 08:31 PM

Xzavior240, that paint job reminds me of an Eddie Van Halen guitar for some reason. It's been 20 years since I used an acetylene torch in a paint job...

Kenneth

XXL · 10-20-2002, 08:32 PM

Oh, and here's the '69 Blazer with some semi-ghost flame action and a smoothie bumper...

Xzavior240 · 10-20-2002, 08:59 PM

well the color can be changed ya know

I didnt think about it when I done it. but your right it does. youd think being a guitar player Id notice this stuff.

Zumo · 10-20-2002, 09:11 PM

Photoshop really isn't for the novice BUT, a lot of practice will get you the hang of it. Don't be afraid to try anything.

Check out this I did with my truck in this post:
